I'd like to setup an ftp such that my users (and some software I write) can upload documents, and have those documents saved on the server but I don't want to allow users to see the contents of the ftp folder - essentially the ftp looks empty at all times to the user.

We've had a client using the scheduled sweep method for years without issues. I'd only see it potentially being a problem on a heavily used server with multiple people intentionally dropping files with the same name.

As mentioned, it's easily possible. Your best bet is to do a Google search for "(FTP server type) write permission only" and you should get plenty of responses. Without more information on exactly what FTP server you're using, you're not going to get much more help than that here.
